Wow, seven million $$$ got em 13.9 TFlops (and that's PEAK). For
5 million (or less) they could have done what VA Tech did and get
20.24 TFlops, ranked 7th in the TOP500 last I checked. In case you
missed that, VA's "System-X" has 1100 Mac Xserve systems (2200
64-bit G5 processors). Wonder why Sherbrooke wanted to pay
more for less?

Just kidding. Most IT types simply refuse to believe Apple/Mac is a
real solution, facts be damned.
